luatexbase – Basic resource management for LuaTeX code

The LaTeX ker­nel
(LaTeX2ε 2015/10/01 on­ward) builds in sup­port for
LuaTeX func­tion­al­ity,
also avail­able as ltlu­a­tex.tex for users of
plain TeX
and those with older LaTeX ker­nel im­ple­men­ta­tions.
This sup­port is based on ideas taken from the orig­i­nal
lu­a­texbase pack­age,
but there are in­ter­face dif­fer­ences.

This ‘stub’ pack­age pro­vides a com­pat­i­bil­ity layer
to al­low ex­ist­ing pack­ages to up­grade smoothly
to the new sup­port struc­ture.
